Triangle ABC is a right triangle.

mina [271]

Answer:

They are complementary.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

A+B+C=180°

where

A,B and C are the measures of the interior angles of triangle

In a right triangle

The measure of angle C ( I assume that the right angle is C) is equal to 90 degrees

so

A+B+90°=180°

A+B=180°-90°

A+B=90°

Remember that

If two angles are complementary, then their sum is equal to 90 degrees

therefore

A and B are complementary angles

Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s). A parabola is given by the equation y = x2 + 4x + 4.

Anarel [89]

Graph x2 = 4y and state the vertex, focus, axis of symmetry, and directrix.This is the same graphing that I've done in the past: y = (1/4)x2. So I'll do the graph as usual: The vertex is obviously at the origin, but I need to "show" this "algebraically" by rearranging the given equation into the conics form:x2 = 4y Copyright © Elizabeth Stapel 2010-2011 All Rights Reserved
(x – 0)2 = 4(y – 0)This rearrangement "shows" that the vertex is at (h, k) = (0, 0). The axis of symmetry is the vertical line right through the vertex: x = 0. (I can always check my graph, if I'm not sure about this.) The focus is "p" units from the vertex. Since the focus is "inside" the parabola and since this is a "right side up" graph, the focus has to be above the vertex.From the conics form of the equation, shown above, I look at what's multiplied on the unsquaredpart and see that 4p = 4, so p = 1. Then the focus is one unit above the vertex, at (0, 1), and the directrix is the horizontal line y = –1, one unit below the vertex.vertex: (0, 0); focus: (0, 1); axis of symmetry: x = 0; directrix: y = –1Graph y2 + 10y + x + 25 = 0, and state the vertex, focus, axis of symmetry, and directrix.Since the y is squared in this equation, rather than the x, then this is a "sideways" parabola. To graph, I'll do my T-chart backwards, picking y-values first and then finding the corresponding x-values for x = –y2 – 10y – 25:To convert the equation into conics form and find the exact vertex, etc, I'll need to convert the equation to perfect-square form. In this case, the squared side is already a perfect square, so:y2 + 10y + 25 = –x 
(y + 5)2 = –1(x – 0)This tells me that 4p = –1, so p = –1/4. Since the parabola opens to the left, then the focus is 1/4 units to the left of the vertex. I can see from the equation above that the vertex is at (h, k) = (0, –5), so then the focus must be at (–1/4, –5). The parabola is sideways, so the axis of symmetry is, too. The directrix, being perpendicular to the axis of symmetry, is then vertical, and is 1/4 units to the right of the vertex. Putting this all together, I get:vertex: (0, –5); focus: (–1/4, –5); axis of symmetry: y = –5; directrix: x = 1/4Find the vertex and focus of y2 + 6y + 12x – 15 = 0The y part is squared, so this is a sideways parabola. I'll get the y stuff by itself on one side of the equation, and then complete the square to convert this to conics form.y2 + 6y – 15 = –12x 
y2 + 6y + 9 – 15 = –12x + 9 
(y + 3)2 – 15 = –12x + 9 
(y + 3)2 = –12x + 9 + 15 = –12x + 24 
(y + 3)2 = –12(x – 2) 
(y – (–3))2 = 4(–3)(x – 2)Then the vertex is at (h, k) = (2, –3) and the value of p is –3. Since y is squared and p is negative, then this is a sideways parabola that opens to the left. This puts the focus 3 units to the left of the vertex.vertex: (2, –3); focus: (–1, –3)

The algebra tiles represent the perfect square trinomial x2 10x c. what is the value of c? c =

devlian [24]

The value of c for which the considered trinomial becomes perfect square trinomial is: 20 or -20

<h3>What are perfect squares trinomials?</h3>

They are those expressions which are found by squaring binomial expressions.

Since the given trinomials are with degree 2, thus, if they are perfect square, the binomial which was used to make them must be linear.

Let the binomial term was ax + b(a linear expression is always writable in this form where a and b are constants and m is a variable), then we will obtain:

$(ax + b)^2 = a^2x^2 + b^2 + 2abx$

Comparing this expression with the expression we're provided with:

$x^2 + 10x + c$

we see that:

$a^2 = 1 \implies a = \pm 1\\b^2 = 10\\b = \pm 10\\2ab = c\\\pm2(10)1 = c\\c = \pm 20\\$

Thus, the value of c for which the considered trinomial becomes perfect square trinomial is: 20 or -20
